Wellbeing & Pastoral Care

How does Kensington Wade support the wellbeing and pastoral care of its pupils?

The happiness and wellbeing of our children is a huge priority at Kensington Wade and we have an open and caring culture. We work extremely closely with our families to make sure that their children feel safe and loved by every member of our staff.

This strong sense of care underpins every aspect of school life and ensures that pupils feel confident, secure and ready to learn.

How are pupils supported as individuals?

Every pupil at Kensington Wade is genuinely known as an individual by all staff and every child is treated as an important member of our school community. Every child has an individual learning plan that is updated and shared with the Headmaster every week.

We value the opinions of our pupils and they have the opportunity to represent our School Council and Eco Club. We actively offer opportunities for every child to succeed and we all celebrate and share their happiness when they do.

This personalised approach helps to build confidence, resilience and a strong sense of belonging within the school.

How is wellbeing monitored and communicated?

We have dedicated time at staff meetings for pastoral care matters and the Head meets regularly with teaching staff to discuss pupils’ wellbeing and progress.

Form teachers hold termly progress meetings with their parents and, as a school, Kensington Wade has an ‘open door’ policy with parents encouraged to come into school to share any concerns they may have with us.

This regular communication ensures that any concerns are addressed quickly and that every child is fully supported.

How does the school work with families?

At Kensington Wade we foster close relationships with our families, and we are most definitely a school for all children.

It does not matter if a child’s family does not speak Chinese, we are well equipped for this and provide support for help at home.

We are committed to working in partnership with parents, offering guidance and reassurance so that every family feels included and supported as part of the school community.
